Special Considerations

Gravatar is an external service. Gravatar requires that you sign up for or use a Wordpress account.

Individual users will require their own avatars. There is no universal avatar system in place.

Uploaded avatars are used throughout SharpSpring. Uploaded Gravatar images are displayed as the User Settings icon in the SharpSpring application and as the user avatar on all related SharpSpring services.

Important: SharpSpring has no control over how Gravatar uploads avatars. Gravatar may change how avatars are uploaded at any time and without warning. These procedures are constantly changing. The following information may be outdated.

Accessing Gravatar Settings

To access Gravatar, do the following:

Log in to SharpSpring.

In SharpsSpring's top toolbar, clickUser Settings > Settings.

Click Change your avatar at Gravatar.com in the My Account menu.

Click Sign In.

Note: If you are already logged in to Gravatar.com, click My Gravatars in Gravatar's top toolbar to access avatar settings.

Adding New Avatars

Once you have accessed Gravatar with a Wordpress account, you can configure avatar settings. To set an avatar through Gravatar, do the following:

Once selected, your avatar will update and display the selected image uploaded to Gravatar. Be aware that if you do not upload an image to use as an avatar, your user avatar will default to a blank icon.

Important: SharpSpring will display only those Gravatar avatars that are rated as G.

Note: If you do not want to set the avatar to an email address, Use for Selected Addresses will instead display as Do Not Use This Image Yet.
